Camera was bought specifically for travel. It has all the customisable features I require, including resolution, but is seriously let down by the poor quality of lenses by Canon, particularly the zoom range. Canon’s hype for this camera is therefore misleading, if not downright false. This means I’m unable to write anything too positive about the camera ‘cause I’ve yet to discover its real potential for taking high quality photographs!

You say lenses in the plural. Which ones did you try?

I’ve borrowed the Canon 55-200mm. Also not good.

It’s beyond my comprehension why Canon produce a potentially excellent camera body but don’t support it with quality optics...

Out of interest, have you compared the results at matching settings with the electronic (silent) shutter selected, against the normal full mechanical shutter operation?  The EF-M 55-200mm is one of the lenses which can show softening at certain shutter speeds in the typical use range due to interaction of the OIS elements' suspension with vibration from the first curtain (previous EOS M series cameras have used electronic first curtain operation so it wasn't a phenomenon which occurred on them). It can be subtle, though on the example of the EOS M6 II which I had, the difference was obvious to me even at the 45mm of the 15-45mm.
